NCQ — Season I: Favors for Favors

Posting this again. I had posted it in the interest check, but I guess you missed it? Anyways. If you would rather not have two snipers, I can re-write. I had a secondary idea of a support role in the form of electronic warfare.

@Mr Rage

Joe is already kinda fulfilling that role. Having 2 pilots on electronic warfare isn't bad though, in case 1 is unavailable e.g.
Besides, 4 eyes see more than 2 ^^

woops, ignore this.

NCQ — Season I: Favors for Favors

Joe Verona

Name: Joe Verona
Nicknames: Joe-it-all
Role: Artillery/Hacking
Text-color: edb25b

Background

Joe is the son of the mechanic Arin Verona, working in Smith's rest, which allowed Joe to get to see a few NCs in his life while his father was working on them. He also picked up a bunch of scientific knowledge regarding engineering from him.
An old but still post-cataclysm computer was a gift for his 13th birthday; it only had a commandline interface, although it was possible for it to display and generate images. Especially the lack of a graphical user interface paved the way for Joe to learn much about computing with his remainder of a child's ability to learn complex systems quickly, given sufficient interest.
About two years ago the financial situation of the family got really bad, so Arin decided to sell Joe's computer. Unfortunatly without consulting him first. The very same day Joe noticed and snapped, punching his father in the head during the rage which lasted only a few seconds before he regained control. The force of the punch was great enough to break his hand and permanently damage his father's brain. As a result of the damage, Arin's long-term memory is unable to store new memories, although previous memories from before that day remain unaffected.

---

After he was assigned to Smith's Rest's NC squad as punishment(although he usually doesn't mention it), the first thing he did to his NC was intentionally crash it's software to have an easier time reconfiguring it to his liking. As he did not warn or tell the engineers, they were pretty surprised and angry at that move of his.
On his first mission, he defeated 'Rook' an enemy NC alongside Percy(a fellow pilot at the time), and also shut down a broken down nuclear reactor while exposing himself to dangerous levels of radiation. No effects of radiation could be found at a medical examination after the mission, but he was advised to avoid radiation as much as possible.

During his second mission, he noticed how much Swarm's weaponry depended on visual at the time, very thick fog could easily throw off the targeting laser, so he purchased a railgun for the Swarm.

After the siege of Smith's Rest, the settlement was renamed to New Anchorage, and after some time Joe was scheduled to go on a mission, which he tried to use to escape from his punishment, but before he could set his plan into motion, the old captain of the team deserted, completely throwing off the entire schedule. Although he hasn't heard from her since, he is still on good terms with the former captain, and if she keeps her promise she made when she left, he will occasionally recieve letters from her.

Once Graham became the commander of the team, they were expected to do combat simulations. However, Joe failed to plug into the simulations, the cause has yet to be determined.
Later the same day, while Joe was trying to go after clues why he couldn't connect to the simulation, he stumbled upon the concept of a long range acoustic device, called 'sound-cannon' by some. He proceeded to purchase 200 high-powered speakers and 2 control circuit boards for them, hoping he could maybe recreate one, and if he could, possibly install it on his NC.

Age: 26
Personality: Joe is usually the analytical type, using knowledge to his advantage. It is very hard to anger him, and if he is in a rage it only lasts for seconds, but during those seconds he is capable of anything, except staying calm and analytical.

Appearance

height: 1.79m
normal weight, although closer to underwheight than to overwheight
pale as a vampire

Tactical preference/skills:Joe isn't really cut out for combat, mostly because his tendency to overanalize his situation lowers his reaction-time significantly; in some situations 2 seconds pass before he can react. As such he usually prefers to be in safe locations during a battle, being rather involved in communications, tactics or cyber-warfare(taking remote control of an enemy unit and the like). He is not a great tactitian despite his analytical nature though
Neural Plug Synchronization: 77%
Other things of note: NERD!!!

NC sheet

Code-Name: Swarm

Appearance

Body-Plan: A general humanoid, although armored and handless. Where the hand would normally be is instead a currently unoccupied weapon or utility slot
Type/Quality: It acts as a ranged unit, taking out both grounded and airborn targets, preferably out of their range. Middling-low

Equipment

• To ease targeting and target-prioritizing, the head is equipped if a more powerful radar, which can manually be focussed in any direction to increase its range in that direction a bit.
• The Swarm is equipped with 2 guidance systems:
  
  • A cruise missile controller for precise strikes with single missles
  • An IR-laser to aim at whatever a volley of heat-seekers shall target. The laser itself has not enough power to do any damage on its own

Armaments

• The 22 missile launcher have a reload time of 40 seconds and it takes about 4 seconds to fire an entire volley of missiles.
• 1 Sys: VEKW-01.65 railgun (purchased)

General Description: The Swarm Is a heavier, hunchbacked unit with an extreme focus on long range combat and defensive armaments. It features numerous long-range high mobility missile launchers, and it would have a high-powered plasma cannon in the waist, but that mount is currently unoccupied.
As well, the Swarm has an interesting backpack design suited for aerodynamics and in-atmosphere flight speed, effectively meaning that while it's slow as mollasses on the ground, its actually sort of fast in the air.
However, if the backpack was hit by a heavier weapon, due to speedy and shoddy construction, it does have a chance to damage the rest of the unit. Thus, the pilot should always point towards the enemy.

@Gowi

I assume returning player's charsheets don't have to be reapproved?

Obviously I am still interested. Copy&pasting CS from before:

In addition, I'd like to keep Joe's most recent purchase of 200 high-powered speakers and the 2 related control circuits, if possible.

In the light of the hallway, Imgor could finally see how bad of a state Alexander and more so Larion were in, and since he was more or less next to Alex, he quickly supported his comrade's weight.
After looking at the two defeated beasts, he suggested: "Can't we use this very hallway for now, it seems you have already cleared it. Or are you looking for a specific campsite?"

"The hallway is first of all too exposed and secondly too big. We will be using a concealment rune, but for that we require a smaller room." Lazarus explained.

"I see. Lead the way."

I would have already posted if I knew something to post, that wouldn't just be a 6 word sentence.

Sorry for not being there 2 hours ago, I was a little busy. In any case, I will keep a closer eye on the TP now.

Will work for me, although it'll be 3am my time.
